I Am Scottish

This is really a question but I need as many Scots as possible on here to see this. I have an essay for college and the essay question is "Is devolution good for Scotland's future?" We are obviously to convey our own opinion in this but I thought I should try to see some differing opinions to mine as I want away from Westminster. So if you feel that devolution is good/not enough/we have enough/all "power" should be at Westminster please tell me why. You can also answer this of course if you're from elsewhere and know what you're talking about (just for you Burnley123).

I own three farms big ones near Inverness and the SNP are ruining Scottish farms as they are clueless.
I the last year the SNP have run up a deficit of £15 billion so they are ruining Scotland yet Scots vote for them.
They are also paying out a huge Benefits Bill and now paying out £17.5 billion to Scots on benefits.
So a devolved Scotland is very bad for hard working Scots but great for lay abouts that live off hand outs.

The figure you quote is mostly pensions and includes lots of other things under 'welfare'. It's not 17.5 billion of unemployment benefit.
